[QUOTE="wiggles, post: 177052, member: 3327"] I can tell you from recent experience that rolling something that large over takes more than two people. Mine might of been a bull but cows are no light weights either. You will know if they are done as they just don't try anymore. As for the bedsores. What out. Mine got one on the upper part of his neck not his hips as I would of expected. HE too tried to stand without luck. As for lifting try the hip lifters, your vet may have some you can use. Ours did but they don't fit bulls. I did find that ours ate and drank better when on stomach as easier to swallow, would eat a few cubes on side and I pushed hay in his mouth. Be careful they do bite and it hurts a lot. I had to quit as I could not keep it up any longer as I work 12 night shifts and neighbors were getting tired of me calling. My vet was worthless too. Best wishes as I do not wish this on anyone. Tears your heart out. [/QUOTE]
